Several clinical investigations demonstrated that intravitreous injection of plasmin before vitrectomy could reduce the risk of retinal bleeding or detachment.
Synchysis scintillans is a degenerative condition of the eye resulting in liquified vitreous humor and the accumulation of cholesterol crystals within the vitreous.
Methods Three incision vitrectomy with intraocular foreign bodies extraction and retinal reattachment, endophotocoagulation, C3F8 intraocular injection and silicone oil tamponade, et al.
The risk factors of onset are as follows: undergoing surgeries at a young age, microcornea, nuclear cataract and persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV).
Vitreous changes were cardinal findings.Vitreous cells were noted in 27(77%) eyes, snowball in 15(43%) and retrolental condensation in 7(20%).Snowbank was found in only 1(3%) eye.
Examinations should include monitoring of the IOP and gonioscopy for pseudophakes and patients with prior vitrectomies to detect mechanical obstruction of the trabecular meshwork by the medication.
Objective:To investigate the occurance and development of complications after silicone oil tamponing operation in retinal detachment,and its effects on the recovery of vision after its taken out.
It's filled with a jelly, which is called the vitreous, and then the tissue layers of the eye are really really thin, almost like this thin outer layer of the grape.
